A Night at the Lepid-Opera


With his powerful moth-like wings,
John McCaughey conducts the Astra Choir and Mothicians, including Michael Kieran Harvey,  
at Saturday's Arts House world premier of  
The Lepidopters : A Space Opera



Punkasila, emergent, with Rachel Saraswati also on the wing.


          
Astra at one end...           ...at the other Punkasila

between them and among them
the Sedulur Gamelan ("Gamelan Sisters") of
Slave Pianos



Above us all, Logos the Speaker, the actor Richard Piper, who...



...at work's end descends from his loft, circles the gamelan and finishes the tale ...as a moth lands upon and sounds a single piano key
      
       
Bravo! Bravo! 
        

        
P.S.  The actors Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood of  
2001 : A Space Odyssey were also in Melbourne these last few days ('AGE' article here) through the season of The Lepidopters : A Space Opera
